Description[]
This is a highly customized version of the original Fiat 500, produced in Italy from 1936 to 1955. The "C" stands for "Customized" (not to be confused with the later 500C - Cabriolet). It features a 569cc four-cylinder engine with the radiator mounted at the rear, giving the car its distinctive sloping nose. The vehicle was popularly known as the "Topolino," literally meaning "little mouse," but more specifically the Italian name for Disney's Mickey Mouse. The Hot Wheels version has been converted into a dragster, complete with a high-mounted wing and exposed engine. Like many racing cars, this Fiat has been modified to feature central drive, with the steering wheel now positioned in the center of the car.
